Him and Me

I am a middle-aged wife, mother and grandmother. However, that simple statement doesn't even begin to cover my life experiences. I'll be nice and spare you the details (hee hee). I am a 50-something Leo with two primary passions -- my husband and computers. Since his two primary passions are me and computers, we get along beautifully! I have two children, three grandchildren and a dog (he came with the husband).

Brad is my second and last husband. I got lucky the second time around! He has his own website here. We met online in 1999. I think it's a very romantic story. Click on our link to get the whole story and see some wedding pictures.

  The Children

It doesn't seem quite right to call them children since they are both adults now. I have one of each, a daughter, Becky, and a son, Jesse. Becky is a single mom with two children of her own. Jesse is married to his high school sweetheart and they have one son just born last year. To learn more about them and to see pictures just click on their links. If I've done it right, the pictures should embarrass them (I'm so bad...).

Brad has one daughter, Nancy. Unfortunately, he has not had any contact with her since before we were married. She lives in Texas with her mother and the last time he tried to call her (in 1999), the number was disconnected with no forwarding. She has never called him. Nancy, if you happen to stumble across this, please contact your dad!

Dave The Dog is included here advisedly. He is a very smart part lab part border collie. It's like having a perpetual two-year-old in the house! He was Brad's when we met, but he has accepted me wholeheartedly -- even though I took HIS spot on the bed. My grandkids love him and look forward to playing with him during their visits.

  The Grandchildren

I have three of the most adorable grandchildren you could ever hope to meet. Of course, I'm just a wee bit biased...

Beth and Tyler are Becky's children and Elijah is Jesse's. I've created a separate page for each one so I can brag about them and their accomplishments and show off pictures. (Isn't that what Grandmas do?) Just click on their links. Beth is now old enough that her page will probably be a collaborative effort which should really be fun! As the others get older, I'll let them do the same. What a fun way to learn web design, don't you think?

A note about pictures:

I will be sharing a lot of pictures, particularly of the grandchildren. I have also been able to get hold of all my father's old slides from my own childhood and will most likely be adding many of them.  I have found a great script to use called Gallery that allows viewers many options including adding comments.  So please feel free to comment away!
